Rubio was totally against the Iran deal as it stood. He offered a series of amendments to force Iran to recognize Israel along with others.

Yep.  Too bad he was FOR the most existential threat that we face.

Rubio's voting record speaks volumes.

 - Rubio called for arming Syrian rebels even though there was no clear U.S. interest at stake. Rubio introduced the Syria Democracy Transition Act, which outlined U.S. involvement to transfer power from the Assad family to a democratic state.

 - Rubio voted in favor of a continuing resolution in September 2014 that included a provision arming rebels in Syria.

 - Rubio voted to block conservative amendments to the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
